The end of the year teacher gifts can be a bit tricky for me. I always give a gift card, but like to do something a little more personal as well. This year I decided to make little bulletin boards/memo boards for the teachers.
I painted a 16x20 canvas and added ribbon, Prima flowers, some stickers from Creative Imaginations, and cork. Sealed it with an acrylic sealer and voila!
Parents, if you want wonderful pictures of your children, never teach them to say "cheese"! Please learn from my mistake or you will have thousands of photos just like mine - squinted eyes, scrunched up noses, clenched teeth, and an image that just screams "say cheez!!!". Join me while I search for that one perfect shot that doesn't conjure up images of dairy products. Oh, and unless you like that *messy* look, you'll probably want to clean their faces before you snap away. I never seem to remember myself.
An imporant sidenote is to make sure you document your life! Recording the little details of the who, what, where, when, & why makes for wonderful stories and captures your life for years to come. Because if you are like me, you'll forget it all 5 minutes later!
